In collaboration with one of China’s largest electronics company, the KFC Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus is available in signature red with a logo of Colonel Sanders and 1987, the year KFC made its debut in the country, inscribed on the back.

The phone is priced at 1,099 yuan (about $162), and Huawei and KFC will only release 5,000 devices, so get it while it’s hot!
Here’s KFC’s statement via its Weibo page, which the Verge hilariously translated using Google:
“# Kentucky China 30 years from 1987 to 2017, 30 years accompanied by the taste of the times, suck refers to the aftertaste! Kentucky together with Huawei joint cooperation, the introduction of Huawei Chang enjoy 7 Kentucky commemorative version of gorgeous struck!
